Vulnerability Details
I would like to report a `RCE` issue in the `logkitty` module. It allows to execute `arbitrary commands remotely inside the victim's PC` # Module **module name:** `logkitty` **version:** `0.7.0` **npm page:** `https://www.npmjs.com/package/logkitty` ## Module Description > Display pretty Android and iOS logs without Android Studio or Console.app, with intuitive Command Line Interface. ## Module Stats [170,222] downloads in the last week ## Vulnerability Description The issue occurs because a `user input` is formatted inside a `command` that will be executed without any check. The issue arises here: https://github.com/zamotany/logkitty/blob/master/src/android/adb.ts#L55 ## Steps To Reproduce: 1. Check there aren't files called `HACKED` 1. Execute the following commands in another terminal: ```bash npm i logkitty # Install affected module logkitty android app 'test; touch HACKED' # Note the *touch command* is inside the *'* (single quote), so it's an argument, while it will be executed anyway ``` 1. Recheck the files: now `HACKED` has been created :) {F754955} ## Patch > Don't format `commands` using insecure `user's inputs` :) ## Supporting Material/References: - [OPERATING SYSTEM VERSION]: Kali Linux - [NODEJS VERSION]: 10.16.3 - [NPM VERSION]: 6.0.9 # Wrap up - I contacted the maintainer to let them know: [N] - I opened an issue in the related repository: [N] ## Impact `RCE` via command formatting on `logkitty`
